"Johnson is a traditional, downhill, blocking fullback who we think will fill that need," said Reinfeldt. "He is a former fifth round pick who has done a nice job over the last two years for Green Bay."

The Titans cut nine players before Saturday's deadline, including veteran wide receiver Justin Gage, and trimmed their roster to 54 players. It can remain there until the exemption for running back Chris Johnson is removed and they get down to the NFL's mandated 53-man roster.
